Express trades off time for money. It's more effort and slows down your trip, but it's much cheaper.

Well the author was also pointing out that currencies like the Barbados Dollar exist, whose exchange rate is pinned at BDS$2 = USD$1. A quick search for pinned currencies brought up this nice list: https://www.investopedia.com&#x

I don't think the gift is worth the tradeoff. There are many ways to help your child become a better writer without selfishly burdening them with chores and more stress.

Given a random sample of cars in downtown SF, what percentage of them are Uber/Lyft drivers? Is it more than two-thirds? Without that information, this number is meaningless.

@sah2ed actually meant that a HN comment had linked the tweet they did. I saw it there too. The tweet itself was never deleted.

That's a surprising experience, I take an Uber at least 2-3 times a week in the bay area and I sit up front almost every single time, unless I have a package with me. I have never been asked to sit in the backseat, even after >700 U

Actually, a lot of ads (on Facebook at least) have the "I already have this" option. The type of Facebook ads that are heavily leveraged by Amazon are called "re-targeting ads". True to their name, they target you again

Better. It's positional tracking using one or more cameras on the headset. No more external cameras, laser base stations, and limited tracking area.

I see this criticism come up a lot, but we have to face the fact that Facebook is not going to decline like MySpace. Facebook continues to show significant active user growth still, even though they're much larger than MySpace ever was

That's a very cynical way of looking at it. S̶a̶n̶d̶e̶r̶s̶ ̶w̶a̶s̶ ̶p̶o̶l̶l̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶a̶ ̶N̶H̶ ̶l̶o̶s̶s̶ ̶u̶n̶t̶i̶l̶ ̶m̶i̶d̶ ̶J̶a̶n̶u̶a̶r̶y̶. (EDIT: I'm wrong apparently) And if you think Clinton is going to win SC and Florida by +3

3. Games aren't there? Oculus funded a bunch of games studios and there are many studios investing themselves. Someone on reddit compiled a list of all of the games expected to come out. [1] [1]: https://www.reddit.com/

Yeah I think I will find it incredibly useful. Coordinating large groups of friends to meet up is a hassle and I think those alerts will be very helpful. "Oh man, Matt grabbed an Uber. I'll call mine now.", etc. Of course, we

Internet.org provides access to a subset of the internet that Facebook chooses to pay for. The target audience is mostly people that can't afford any internet access to the first place because it is to outrageously expensive. As well,

30min to 1 hour of homework is too much? If they have seven periods a day and we assume they only average homework from each class once every few days, then the kids only have 20 minutes of homework per class. That should be the minimum for
